I agree with Carol. You really get a sense of scale with this and the sharp detail of the monument with the movement of the people is perfection. If I had been in DC and ran into you, Linda, Renee and Gail I would have been star struck! It would have been better than meeting the Beatles! LOL #10210927

Do I see a judge's comment on this? I love the motion blur on the people and the balance of the composition - the imposing scale of Lincoln gives this lots of impact. Congratulations on the finalist, Chris. #10299022

You have hit the jackpot this month with finalists! I counted SIX! Congrats Chris, this and all of your others are very well deserved. You must be on cloud nine right now and then when those golds start rolling in...you will probably throw a big party and invite me. LOL #10299704

Another spectacular Gold Winner, Chris! Wonderful sense of scale, love your creativity on the comp. Super Congratulations for this Gold and for the marvelous month of finalists, so well-deserved. #10302564

Thanks so much, Christine! I wish I could say I had some high-minded logic for this composition... but I happened to be down below the memorial, and Renee had just handed me the 100-400 zoom, and so I tried a few shots from where I stood, and loved this resulting composition! #10309932

Thanks, Gail! Always a fun night out! Though I got to the WWII too late in the evening for any sunset light & color. Will have to try again! #10341482
